Redhat 9 Kernel Panic
Hi, this is my first attempt at installing linux outside of VMware, so I'm still a pretty big newbie at linux. Anyway, I got my hands on a spare 13 gb hard drive (IDE) and set it up as a secondary hard drive on my desktop, then installed Redhat 9.0 using the Personal Desktop installation. As soon as I restarted, I got a kernel panic (posted at the end of this message)... I managed to get into a unix command prompt by adding "single" to the end of my kernel options from GRUB, but I can't get any farther than the command prompt. I've reinstalled Redhat twice, still the same message and no boot.
This is probably a common problem, but I can't seem to find much about it online and I've tried everything I can think of. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. The error message: Code: 8B 40 08 83 E0 F0 09 C8 89 42 08 66 0F B6 53 13 0F B7 47 04 <0> Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! In interupt handler - not syncing Here are my system specs, if it makes a difference: Processor: Intel P4 2.66 ghZ RAM: 768 mb DDR Hard disc 1: 120 GB IDE (Windows XP Home) Hard disc 2: 13 GB IDE (Redhat 9.0) Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 4 ti4200 (128 mb model) 10/100 Ethernet Dual Monitor |
Hmm... I got it to boot one time today, I typed "exit" at the unix prompt and Redhat booted up just fine... But now it's giving me the kernel panic again and won't boot. :scratch:

Do you have any RAID and/or SCSI controllers in your system? If so, you may need to supply a driver disk when installing. I recently had a problem where the the kernel would load the wrong driver for an HPT374 RAID controller, even though I used a driver disk... I ended up having to create a custom kernel that excluded the HPT drivers that are built-in to RedHat and compiling/installing a driver from source code from the HPT website. Why not post the output of /sbin/lspic (run as root). Here's an example:
